Chapter 22

After getting into the car, Huo Jingchen handed her a blanket. Then, he lowered his eyes and fell silent.

There was plenty of warm air in the car. Zhao Siqing wiped her hair and the water stains on her body, and her eyelids gradually darkened.

Not long after, the driver said softly, “Sir, the main road to Miss Zhao’s house is blocked badly. I’m afraid we’ll have to take a long detour. ”

Huo Jingchen looked at the woman who was sleeping next to him. Then, he looked at the time and said in a deep voice, “go back to Jin Garden. ”

“Yes. ”

Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped in front of a villa in Jin Garden.

Zhao Siqing frowned slightly and slowly woke up.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, she was a little absent-minded. She turned to look at Huo Jingchen and asked, “Mr. Huo, I don’t think this is my home? ”

“It’s my home. ” Huo Jingchen looked up at her.

Zhao Siqing was stunned for a few seconds. “Then why did you bring me back? ”

Huo Jingchen was silent for a long time.

Until Zhao Siqing thought he would not speak, he slowly said, “I’m afraid. ”

Zhao Siqing… …

He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and was known for his ruthlessness. How could he tell her that he was afraid?

Zhao Siqing maintained her professionalism and comforted herself that perhaps he was really afraid.

She immediately asked patiently, “what are you afraid of? ”

Huo Jingchen looked at her without saying a word.

He was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye, that she would go back to look for Lu Qian, and that everything would only be a dream before she woke up.

Zhao Siqing looked at him gently, waiting for his reply.

Huo Jingchen’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. He retracted his gaze and slowly said, “I’m afraid of walking alone at night. ”

Zhao Siqing looked at the driver, wondering if the driver was not a person?

“Did something happen in the past? ”

Huo Jingchen glanced at her and did not say anything. It was obvious that he did not intend to explain further.

Hearing this, Zhao Siqing did not ask further. She just quietly put this matter to heart.

After getting out of the car, Huo Jingchen held up the umbrella for Zhao Siqing. He had always protected her very well.

Zhao Siqing only felt that this man’s heart was actually very meticulous. He seemed to be different from the rumors, but he was not that different.

The rumors about him were not good, but after a few encounters, she really could not hate him.

“Mr. Huo, you helped me once again. I still have to thank you today. I’ll take a cab home. You should rest early too. ”

Huo Jingchen sneered and approached her. “I don’t like these empty words. If you really want to thank Dr. Zhao, you should think about something more practical. ”

He was tall, and when he approached her, Zhao Siqing subconsciously took two steps back. Her heart instantly tensed up, until she hit the edge of the car. “What… What? ”

Huo Jingchen smiled and said softly, “think about how to thank me now. ”

Zhao Siqing’s heart trembled. She looked at the handsome face that was right in front of her and was speechless again.

Huo Jingchen said in a low and hoarse voice, “think about it carefully. ”

“I didn’t ask you to help me. Why do you always need to be thanked for doing something good? ” Zhao Siqing could not help but ask. She took a few steps back, trying to ease the discomfort caused by Huo Jingchen’s approach.

The woman’s voice was very light, but it seemed to have a little tail tone due to her dissatisfaction. It had a little more softness, which made people’s hearts soften for no reason.

Huo Jingchen looked directly at Zhao Siqing. Her hair was still wet, and her small face had a little bit of coldness and delicacy.

Her mouth was very small, and it was a faint pink color, looking particularly soft.

Looking at him now, there was a little dissatisfaction in her cold eyes, but it made people go crazy for no reason.

Huo Jingchen’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he said softly, “why don’t you act coquettishly again? ”

Zhao Siqing looked at him in a daze, and her face flushed a little. “I’m not… I’M NOT ACTING COQUETTISHLY! ”
